The true face of Islam

... and the courage of one female to challenge it. Born in Somalia and brought up to think that total submission of women was the right Muslim thing to do, like the majority of Muslim women are brought up, Ayaan once believed that genital mutilation was fine, heretics should be killed and one of her duty was to participate in Jihad. However her family went one forced marriage too far, and she fled and sought asylum in the Netherlands. There she met the Enlightenment for the first time and underwent liberation from Islamic laws. She have come to embrace the freedom of speech and thought of the Western world and fought for the liberation of women from religion. However she found that the Netherlands had undergo Islamic radicalism and was threatened with death from fellow Arabs, while witnessing the death of a colleague from once such murder. To protect herself, again she had to flee, this time to the US. Now the Dutch are withdrawing her protection, while the US is unable to provide that kind of security, in the light of this plight she still stands as the ex-Muslim who is staging a revolution against the force of subjugation.

For standing up for freedom even under the very real threat of death, Ayaan truly deserves the title of a hero. If the newspaper article in the link doesn't even bring a tear to your eye, then you have absolutely no feelings for humanity and the threat our freedoms are under.

In addition, there are other articles that show the religious insanity of Islam like the Sudanese government convicting a British teacher who allowed students to vote to name a teddy bear Muhammad for inciting hatred. As well as an article on the Saudi government sentencing the victim of a rape to punishment for not being with a male relative while being raped. And finally an article that sums up all these atrocities.

All these just goes to show that a majority of people in the world are utterly stupid and can't prioritise their actions, and that I have been right all along in entirely bashing those religions that have never underwent a Reformation. And also that we are too submissive to religion to publish any article like those in the British newspaper.
